Silver-Age Sub-Mariner Splash Page Sundays # 29

Around this time in 1970, Marvel's coloring took what I consider a turn for the worse. As colorists weren't generally credited in those days, I'm not sure who to blame but the deep, solid blues, reds, yellows and greens look nothing to me like Stan Goldberg's dingier but nostalgic palate from earlier years.

A not bad--not special page here, again credited to Sal Buscema but somehow the Subby figure looks like it may have been redrawn or retouched. Maybe not but reminds me a bit of Frank Springer.

About Me

First published in 1968 (I was 9!), I have been writing professionally part-time for more than two decades. I have been freelancing for various authors, editors and publishers for the past three years on the behind-the-scenes tasks of writing.
